I’m #buildinginpublic a REST #API #test tool in #Java that supports authentication and renders the response in a tree view and lets you assert on values, generating #tests in code. #buildinpublic https://t.co/FO9DFFCFRm

[Steve Mellor @ObjectiveTester]

Cleaned up and pushed some uncommitted code on the test tools I wrote a few years back.
I’m going to modify Wisard to generate #PageObjects,
Jester needs a better UI and more #REST #API testing features.

I use #VSCode as my preferred editor, and customised the syntax highlighting - I've just published a Tertiary colour theme that's designed to be easy on the eye : https://t.co/xqL7A9EkVv

#Productivity Tip : I organise tasks and projects in multiple email folders to make things easy to find, but files that aren't linked or attached to #email can get easily get lost - drag files into a folder in #outlook and manage emails and files all in one place

@ObjectiveTester is starting his talk #sigist23

[Hris Koleva @hrisKoleva]

@ObjectiveTester just yet again demonstrated and reassured us that there's no such thing as "our system is too complex and too complicated for automation". There are ways to build your automation more effective and more efficient but you need to be smart about it. #SIGiST2023

The launch of the new #Roq brand means exciting times for us. So much more than a new logo, look and feel, Test Architect Steve Mellor tells us what his involvement in the evolution of our portfolio and #QualityEngineering Ecosystem means to him. https://t.co/riliNiHy3D

[Roq - Confidence through quality @ROQTALK]

We’re excited to be Roq-ing a new image! After months of fantastic collaboration with partners, clients, and our own great team, we’re ready to unveil our new brand identity. We hope you like it as much as we do! #Roq #QualityEngineering #LikeNoOther

Long lived source branches that go stale are a big problem in software #development, updating the branch with changes made upstream can be difficult - I just managed to #git #rebase a branch without blowing anything up or using --force so now it's ready to be reviewed as a PR 😅

[Steve Mellor @ObjectiveTester]

'Dear Evil Tester' by @eviltester dropped through my letterbox yesterday - It's not a typical book on #software #testing, but a very satirical and irreverent look at the field which will definately teach you a few things and put a smile on your face :

Had a great day at my first @testing_atelier event in Leeds :)

I really enjoyed the talk by @ObjectiveTester as well as picking his brain on the role of a Test Architect.

And I FINALLY got to meet the infamous @Beth_AskHer after several online interactions 🙂

#TestAtelier

[Steve Mellor @ObjectiveTester]

At Wharf Chambers for a day of learning at the @testing_atelier in #Leeds. I’m doing a talk on #testing #Microservices in the afternoon

[Steve Mellor @ObjectiveTester]

@Beth_AskHer It’ll be good to get your opinion on my slides - definitely think I need a few random memes adding

If all you care about is Chromium-based browsers, I believe you're doing your users a disservice. Using a tool that uses an underlying proprietary protocol instead of a standardized one facilitates this. Plus, it's bad for the open web.
